The physics of magmatic processes occurring within volcanic plumbing systems are complex and play a fundamental role in controlling the tempo and style of volcanic activity, the formation of cumulate rocks, and the generation of magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits. To unravel the complexity of magmatic plumbing systems a multidisciplinary approach is hence necessary. This session aims to bring together scientists working on understanding the structural, chemical, and temporal evolution of magmatic–hydrothermal systems using a wide range of techniques, including fieldwork, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, geodesy, experiments, and numerical modelling, to diffuse the boundaries between these often separate disciplines. The session aims at building a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of Volcanic and Igneous Plumbing Systems (VIPS), and welcomes contributions that cover terrestrial and/or extra-terrestrial settings, that explore both deep and/or shallow processes, considering the full spectrum of tectonic settings at both active and inactive volcanic systems.
